Abstract
This paper has demonstrated the performance signature of fiber to fiber connectors with minimum insertion loss and low distortion in optical fiber transceiver systems. Insertion loss is clarified against the lateral and longitudinal misalignment for single mode graded index fiber for various fiber core diameter. Insertion loss is clarified in relation to angular misalignment for joints in multimode step index silica doped optical fibers with numerical apertures variations. Total coupling signal loss efficiency is demonstrated versus the lateral and longitudinal misalignment for single mode graded index fiber for different fiber core diameter. As well as the coupling loss efficiency is studied versus angular misalignment for joints in multimode step index silica doped optical fibers with numerical apertures variations. Insertion loss is demonstrated versus numerical aperture variations for joints in multimode step index silica doped/germanium doped/plastic optical fibers with various degree angular misalignment variations.
